The last few weeks we have been savoring glimpses so Spring in between bouts of the lingering Winter. Again, we were at the park in Spring jackets and a few days later on April 14th it snowed! This really has been he longest winter ever!! We took the kids to go see he Easter Bunny last week, and we were so happy we got a great picture of the kids with huge smiles on heir faces. Kenley also had a party at school this week, so we had an extra chance to see the Easter Bunny. We are looking forward to spending Easter with our families.
Charlie turned 8 months last week. I can't believe it, even though he looks easily as big as a 1 year old! (Already wearing 12-18 month clothes) I experimented with letting him cry it out a bit at night even though it broke my heart, and he really has been sleeping better these last 2weeks. By no means ALL the way through the night, but mostly waking up 2times a night, which is still a lot for an 8 mo old, but better than the 5-10 that it's been. He is really developing a little personality, and it is so fun to listen to his babble, and to watch him and Kenley interact. He finds her hilarious, and she loves entertaining him. He gets frustrated because he wants to be mobile, but has quite figured out how to crawl yet. He's so strong and loves to be in he standing position with a little support that I think he might walk before he crawls.
Kenley Marie has been staying busy and keeping me busy between school, ballet, play dates, etc. everyday she asks me what we are going to do and where we are going to go. She gets upset on the rare days we don't have something planned and tells me I need to take her somewhere fun that kids can play. She's getting too old and too smart and has told Ray that he needs to, "download new aps for her on the I-pad" She has also picked up on some language that makes her sound like a teenager including OMG, and other things I know she learned from me. (Oops!) but, I guess it could be much worse...I keep telling her that I have to squish her down so that she doesn't grow any bigger or older.
Here's to hoping the Easter Bunny brings warm weather!
